Chapter 405: Reinforcements

Bugarao bowed and said, "I believe that Your Excellency will bring a complete victory to this powerful country, and our friendship will last forever." I have also brought some good friends with me, both Dutch and Spanish, who will be your best companions and strongest shields. ”

"The Dutch and the Spaniards actually brought it together, Lao Bu are you crazy or they are crazy, these people are mortal enemies, didn't they come together to find someone's life."

The Netherlands was the Netherlands. In this era, they have to be regarded as citizens of Spain, but as early as a few decades ago, they exploded the Low Countries Fortune Cave. The Protestant Dutch and Catholic Spaniards were enemies of each other, and the war lasted for decades, with many dead on both sides.

The Dutch people of the sea called themselves sea beggars, and they supported their country financially through various methods such as guò trade and robbery.

The Netherlands in another time and space later became more and more powerful in the Far East, and Yizhou was also occupied by them until they were expelled by Zheng Chenggong. At the moment their strength in the Far East is not strong, compared to the Spaniards, they cannot be mentioned at all.

It's just that in this time and space, thanks to Li Yanqing and his East India Company, the glory of the Dutch people is destined to be difficult to reproduce, and they don't want to establish their own territory in Daming no matter what.

They have to be considered a feud with the Spaniards, and they are about to start the film when they meet. Even at sea, the two sides are in conflict with each other. The Dutch people were staring at the Spaniards' treasure ships for not a day or two, and Li Yanqing didn't have a good opinion of these pirates. couldn't help but admonish: "Lao Bu, don't make some low-level mistakes. If these two groups of people rise up together in Xiangshan, don't blame me for being unkind to them. I'm trying to kill a bunch of foreigners to sacrifice the flag. ”

Bugarao smiled: "You don't have to care, business is always business." Let the feud come and do business with me. Exactly what proved my success. When these Dutch people heard that they were going to fight the Spaniards, they volunteered to come and help. As long as you pay a little bit of money. They are your best men. And you have to know that the more you invest in the Dutch, the more the Spaniards have to pay."

In this era, the Dutch pirates who were able to come to the Far East to earn a living did have two brushes. When it comes to fighting, they are no match for Spain's old enemy. But when it comes to the will to fight, they are unprecedentedly high. The Dutch were to the Spaniards what the Romanians were to the Hungarians in World War II.

These people are now not in the Far East. When encountering the Spanish army, it was basically a situation where they could not win and could not run, often suffering heavy casualties, but they had the courage to fight. This time, I heard that the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty was going to separate from Spain, and these people actually took the initiative to find Simão and expressed their willingness to fight for the Ming Dynasty as mercenaries. As long as the Ming side pays a certain amount of compensation, they will shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty.

These people have limited fighting qualities, but they are very enthusiastic, and if they are used well. It is a good candidate for a pioneer. As for the employment fee, Li Yanqing has a lot of money, and he doesn't take this money seriously.

And, as Bugarao said, he invested a silver or two in his business in the Netherlands. Spain would have to pay dozens of times the price. After all, the Netherlands is the richest province in Spain at the moment, and compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands is the enemy in front of them. If the Dutch are making a fuss enough. Even if Spain wants to go on an expedition to the Ming Dynasty, it must see if it has the strength.

The question of the Dutch in Spain. Loyalty is still reliable. He nodded and said, "I hired these people." You call them in front of you to talk about it, and let's make a charter. As long as they are willing to die. I can't do anything wrong to them. ”

"This is great news. I assure you that it was a wise decision you made. In fact, as long as you hire them, more and more Dutch people will join us, and we will grow stronger. Perhaps without the help of the great Ming soldiers, the Dutch would have been able to wipe out the Spaniards. ”

"If they can destroy the Spaniards, they won't have to go to me, and they won't sing the song of joy. What was the situation with the Spaniards, and what were they here for? As a spy? ”

"You're right, they're spies, but spies for us. The Spaniards have a lot of information to us, most of them are quartermasters of Commander Alfonso, who are preparing for the war of His Excellency Alfonso, and I have brought them to serve His Excellency Alfonso. ”

The soldiers did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Even though the plan had not yet been approved in Spain, Alfonso had already begun preparations and began to build a base in the Philippines to stockpile supplies such as military food, ammunition, and ordnance. The quartermasters under him dutifully performed their duties and brought boatloads of rice, vegetables, meat products and other staple and sideline foods to Xiangshan to purchase military supplies.

All the food that Alfonso desperately needed was exchanged for silk, hibiscus, porcelain, and tea. "Let us praise these great quartermasters for their outstanding contribution to the realization of peace between Spain and the Ming Dynasty. Half of the rations in Alfonso's account are now in your treasury, and most importantly, they will provide more, if you can pay enough for it. In fact, you captured the granaries of Spain before you went to war. In addition to providing food, they are even willing to provide information. ”

"No, I don't think it's treason, in fact, I'm a true patriot. Alfonso was a traitor to the Empire. "The major who reported the news was of medium stature, and his crisp military uniform was meticulously ironed, and at the cuffs, he was replaced with new gold threads. His expression was stern, as if he were carrying out a sacred undertaking.

But just now, this patriot of Spain, a true nobleman, Don, who would later be called a hero by the Spaniards? Major Juan has laid out the current Spanish arrangements in the Philippines. The value of the information it provides is even much higher than the sum of the information provided by the Heavenly Maiden Gate.

"Damn Alfonso, if it weren't for him, the current governor of Luzon would have been me. It was this scumbag who stole my place and wanted to steal the love of this fiery rose. As a glorious knight, how can I tolerate such a villain continuing to do evil? And he's an idiot, a complete idiot, and the campaign commanded by him is doomed to failure, only me, Don? Juan was the savior of the Spanish forces in Luzon. ”

According to him, this Alfonso was arbitrary, vulgar and arrogant. In fact, it was after Alfonso became governor that Don? Mr. Juan was completely marginalized and denied any promotion and reuse, which naturally became evidence of Alfonso's arbitrariness.

And Don as the captain of the engineer company? Juan, highly recommend the Bastion program. He thought that fortresses should be built all over Luzon to ensure the absolute security of the base areas in order to attack the Ming Dynasty. This is the safest plan, and the plan that his sappers can benefit the most.

However, Alfonso scoffed at this plan, according to him, the Ming Dynasty was a backward and decaying country. Its troops are poorly equipped and vulnerable. The soldier is like a beggar, without any fighting power. For such a country, all the Spaniards had to do was to attack and attack, as long as a few cannons were erected outside the port of the Ming Dynasty, the country could be brought to its knees, and the repair of the fortress was purely the personal interest of the major. With the exception of a fortress in Manila, there are no fortified forts anywhere else.

"Listen, if we join forces and destroy Alfonso. In the Far East, it's up to us. "Don? Juan said proudly: "Alfonso's pig, he doesn't even know who his enemy is, the empire's precious troops and every gold coin should be used against the Moro, not against the Ming Dynasty." As long as I become Governor-General, I will insist on using troops against the Moro, and when the time comes, I hope that you and I will be able to cooperate on a deeper level and make efforts to establish order in the Far East.
